Dinosaur WorldFlorida allows you to bring in food since they do not have a restaurant on site, this is definitely a way to keep your trip on a budget.

Next, it was time to head over to the Fossil Dig.

This is included in the general admission for children, and when they are finished excavating, they are provided with a bag to keep 3 “fossils”.

My husband lent my 5-year-old daughter some assistance, but my 8-year-old son took right to it and starting digging.

It was fun watching all the kids sifting through the sand.

After this, we headed over to see a paleontologist presentation and then took a walk through the park to check out all of the dinosaur statues.

The kids also got to Feed Koi Fish in a pond, and after we headed over to a Bone Yard to unearth some buried dinosaur bones.

To finish up our day, we went to the Dino Gem Excavation. This experience is included in the Excavation Pass Rate.

The kids were each given a bag of sediment filled with gems and as they moved their “dirt” through the sifter and water, the treasure appeared. They got to keep any items they found in a “Lucy Strike” bag.

My kids thought this was so AWESOME! There was also a Geode Cracker option that could be purchased for an additional fee.

Throughout the day the kids and I had fun “HAMMING IT UP” for pictures and my favorite photo was this one of us in front of T Rex.

We really enjoyed ourselves at Dinosaur World Florida, and I wish we would have visited sooner, it is well worth the trip.

Have you ever visited a Dinosaur World location before? What was your favorite part?

How fun! My mom lives in Florida, and when we drive down, we see signs for Dinosaur World but we have never really thought about stopping and checking it out! After reading this though, it is definitely on the list for the next trip. Looks like a fun place!

We had an opportunity to go with Carlee and family to Dinosaur World and had a great time! We enjoyed the park-like setting and the relaxed atmosphere. Fun as well as educational for all of us and not just the kids. We had passed by Dinosaur World so many times and couldn't believe how much of it you can't see from the highway. Definitely a fun experience for the family! It was a great memory maker!

We have never visited, but we need to visit now that I know about it. My 4 year old little boy would flip if he saw all of these awesome dinosaurs because he is obsessed with dinosaurs. I love the pic of your kids in the dinosaur mouth. I need a picture like that for my son.
